Book a Gordonia Cottage

"Felt like a business hotel - no frills - but does all the basics right. Did not enjoy the smell of stale cigarette smoke in my bedroom. Breakfast was great - TV channels were good - lots of parking close to rooms. "

"Excellent stay"

"Stayed at Lions Rest several times before. Convenient place to stay when arriving in Upington to go to Kalahari. Family run - very friendly. Fixtures and fittings are getting a bit 'tired' and in need of refreshing."

"Lovely place and delicious breakfast."

"Rooms full of mosquitoes but no repellent or mosquitoe nets yet the hotel is besides a river, smelly rooms something wrong with the plumbing, noise from the road, fake lawn instead of carpets inside the rooms, fake chandeliers, doors that do not lock properly, waiting for 2 hours before being checked in. The is no 24 hour reception there. The one who does the checking in does not stay at that hotel, you will have to wait till she comes to check you in. Had this other occupant saying that that...

"Very friendly service. There was a pool onsite to cool off in and swimming towels were provided. The room was adequate with a small fridge, tea/coffee maker, microwave and cutlery and crockery. The room layout was interesting and unique. Good value for money."

"Amazing friendly and hospitable people. The environment is great and the food is great. Will anytime stay here again"
